Ludogorets vs Shamrock Rovers Predictions

• Ludogorets have kept clean sheets in their four games this season
• Shamrock have never won an away game in the Champions League
• Ludogorets have lost just two of their last eight home European matches

Ludogorets starting the season strongly

Bulgarian champions Ludogorets could not have started the season in better shape, winning all four of their games, two in the League and both legs of their Champions League first qualifying round tie.

Ante Šimundža’s side have kept clean sheets in each fixture, while they are on a run of nine victories in ten home outings dating back to last season.

They have twice reached the group stages of this competition, in 2014/15 and 2015/16, while they have lost just twice in their last 13 home qualifying round fixtures.

Shamrock hoping to make history

Shamrock reached this round of the competition with a 3-0 aggregate win over Maltese side Hibernians, while they are unbeaten in five games in all competitions.

However, Rovers have managed just two victories in 16 away European games since 2011/12, when they reached the group stages of the Europa League.

The Irish outfit have never won a Champions League / European Cup fixture on the road, while more recently they have failed to score in three of their last five on their travels in all competitions.

I predict that Ludogorets will win this game to nil, with 2-0 my correct score prediction.
